Take care of yourself, UC Santa Cruz!

UC SHIP plan benefits meet Minimum Essential Coverage (MEC) requirements of the Affordable Care Act. Take a close look at all that UC SHIP has to offer you in the 2016–17 UC SHIP student brochure. Download the StudentHealth app to obtain your Anthem Blue Cross Medical/Vision ID Card and have easy access to medical, pharmacy and dental information on the go.

Get care on campus from student health specialists at your campus’ Student Health Services with virtually no cost to you because you are covered by UC SHIP.

Use your coverage while you travel in the United States and worldwide by obtaining a referral from SHS when you need non-emergency care. (Referrals are not required for emergency room services, Urgent Care Clinic visits, or to visit a pediatrician, obstetrician for pre-natal and maternity care, or a gynecologist if one is not available at Student Health and Counseling Services.)

Obtain specialty care at the UC Family of university medical centers, affiliated facilities and professional providers, including our UC Medical Centers, for discounted UC SHIP member rates.
